Letter of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 03-03-02/84 of April 13, 2006 on the Taxation of Repo Operations
Explains the procedure of taxation of operations envisaging a repurchase agreement of participants for the securities. Such transaction implies that one party sells to the other a packet of securities of certain value with an obligation to buy them back at specified price.
Provisions of Article 282 of the Tax Code may apply to only those repo operations where the time between the dates of execution of the first and the second parts is not greater than one year. If the committed operation is not a repo one, its taxation is done according to the articles regulating the procedure of determination of the taxable base when committing operations with securities.
When applying the method of accruing, expenses are recognised as of the date of payments according to the terms of concluded contracts or as of the date of presenting of documents to the taxpayer serving as grounds to make the payments, or as of the last day of the reporting (tax) period. Such expenses reduce the taxpayer taxable base determined according to Article 274 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and do not form the taxable base for operations with securities.
The taxable base for the profit tax is formed with the seller under the first part of the repo agreement only as of the date of sale or the final redemption of the nominal cost of the security with amortisation of the debt. The seller under the first part of the repo agreement forms only the taxable base subject to the 24% rate if the securities sold by him are purchased under another repo operation.
For repo operations, the interest is accumulated using the method of accruing as of the end of the reporting (tax) period for organisations applying the method of accruing for the purposes of taxation of profit. The interest for taxation purposes is accrued proceeding from the interest base (price of the first part of the repo operation taking into account the accumulated coupon income if available), repo rate and the repo period. For organisations applying the cash method, incomes (expenses) for the repo operation are recognised for taxation purposes according to Article 273 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Operations of sale of securities in repo operations are exempted from the value added tax.
Provisions of Article 282 of the Tax Code may apply to only those repo operations where the time between the dates of execution of the first and the second parts is not greater than one year.

Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 4-P of April 20, 2006 on the Case of Constitutionality of Part 2 of Article 10 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Part 2 of Article 3 of the Federal Law on the Entry into Force of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Federal Law on the Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and a Number of Provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedures of the Russian Federation Pertaining to the Procedure for Bringing Court Rulings in Compliance with the New Criminal Law Eliminating or Mitigating Responsibility for a Crime Pursuant to the Appeals of Citizens A.K.Aizhanov, Y.N.Aleksandrov and Other
Appeals to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation were caused by the fact that courts of general jurisdiction, while revising the passed sentences in view of the liberalisation of the Criminal Code, did not reduce the punishment if the earlier one appeared to be a minimum one or below the lower limit. According to the convicts having appealed to challenge the constitutionality of Part 2 of Article 10 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as a number of provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedures of the Russian Federation pertaining to court rulings being brought in compliance with the new criminal law mitigating the responsibility, the punishment should be reduced not only below the upper limit specified in the old law, but below the minimum one.
The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation emphasised that the principle of retroaction of the criminal law mitigating the responsibility (Article 10 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) must be applied regardless of what were the improvements for the particular person. Another interpretation of the mentioned norm, namely, a reduction of the punishment assigned to the convict to the upper limit specified in the Law is not in line with the literal sense of Article 10 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and does not take account of the legal assessment of the committed actions according to the new legal regulation. Therefore, when revising the cases according to the new norms of the Criminal Code, the courts may reduce the term of punishment not only to the upper, but also to the lower limit.
As to the challenged Item 2 of Part 1 of Article 399 of the Code of Criminal Procedures of the Russian Federation stating that the issue of mitigation of the punishment pursuant to the introduction of the criminal law possessing retroactive force is solved by the court at the request of the convict, the court emphasised that this provision does not lift the duty of the authorised state bodies to initiate the issue to bring the sentence in compliance with the new criminal law mitigating the responsibility for the crime regardless of the presence of the request of the convict.
The Decision is entered into force immediately after annunciation.

Letter of the Department of the Tax and Customs Tariff Policy of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation No. 03-02-07/1-90 of April 12, 2006
According to Item 1 of Article 115 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, tax bodies may apply to court to file a lawsuit to impose the tax sanction no later than six months after the tax violation is revealed and the appropriate act is drawn up (period of limitation). According to explanations of the Presidium of the Higher Arbitration Court No. 5 of February 28, 2001, this period is calculated from the day of drawing up of the act when the taxpayer is called to account as a result of the on-site tax check, as well as when the persons not being taxpayers are called to account, since the act must be drawn up only in these cases. Since the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not envisage the drawing up of the act by the tax body as a result of other forms of tax control, rather than the on-site tax check, the period of limitation specified in Item 1 of Article 115 of the Code must be calculated in these cases from the day when the appropriate violation was revealed. The given period may not be restored
.
If the amount of fine imposed on the independent entrepreneur is not greater than Rbl 5,000 for each unpaid tax in a tax period (Rbl 50,000 for an organisation), the tax sanction is imposed on the basis of the decision calling the taxpayer to account for the tax violation.
Decision imposing the sanction is taken after the time limit specified for the execution of the duty to pay the tax has expired, but no later than 60 days after the expiry of the time limit of execution of the requirement to pay the tax. Decision taken after expiry of the mentioned time limit is invalid and may not be executed. In this case, the tax body may apply to court to collect from the taxpayer the due tax amount. The same provision applies to collection of penalties for the overdue payment of taxes and fines.

Decision of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 266 of May 2, 2006 on the Amendments to the Rules of Calculation of the Periods of Work Permitting an Early Assignment of the Labour Old-Age Pension in Compliance with Articles 27 and 28 of the Federal Law on Labour Pensions in the Russian Federation
The amendments extend the list of the types of works specified in the rules where the periods of work are summed up in cases of an early assignment of the labour pension to citizens. The list includes the periods of work as rescue workers in professional rescue services and formations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia; works with convicts as employees of institutions of execution of punishments in the form of imprisonment; works in positions of the State Fire Service (fire fighting and rescue services) of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
The mentioned amendments adjust the procedure of summing up of the periods of work permitting to get an early labour pension. Thus, the periods of work in the regions of the Far North and localities of similar status must be summed up with the periods of work included in the list. Besides, the periods of works in the underground without any restrictions must be added to the periods of work in heavy conditions. Earlier, such types of works were summed up only for men after 55 years of age and women after 50 years of age if they had worked in heavy conditions for at least 12 years and 6 months and 10 years respectively and had the insured length of service at least 25 and 20 years respectively.
The procedure of calculation of the periods of work on a rotational basis in the regions of the Far North and localities of similar status that was earlier applied for an early assignment of labour pensions to men after 55 and women after 50, if they had worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 20 calendar years in localities of similar status and have the insured length of service at least 25 and 20 years respectively, shall apply also to one more category of workers. This is women after 50 years of age having born two or more children if they have the insured length of service at least 20 years and have worked for at least 12 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 17 calendar years in localities of the similar status (on a rotational basis).
In addition to the above, the rules are extended to include the provisions on the particulars of calculation of the length of service on the water transport, as well as the periods of underground work. The amendments introduce a rule requiring to include in the length of work permitting an early assignment of the labour old-age pension the time of the paid forced absenteeism in cases of illegal dismissal or transfer to another job followed by subsequent restoration at the previous place of work permitting an early assignment of the labour old-age pension.

Message of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of May 10, 2006
In his next annual message to the Federal Assembly, the President described approaches to defining the place of Russia in the world division of labour, in modern international relations. The President analysed in detail the demographic issue and development of the Armed Forces.
The task of rouble convertibility put forward since 2003 must be expedited by revocation of remaining restrictions from July 1 of the current year. To make the rouble a more universal means of international payments, it is suggested to arrange on the territory of Russia exchange trade for oil, gas, other commodities with payments made in roubles.
To facilitate introduction of home-made products to international markets, the issue of a more rational participation in international division of labour was raised and the issue of obtaining full benefits from integration in the world economy. To this end, negotiations are continued to join WTO on conditions that would take account of economic interest of Russia.
Having characterised the situation in the demographic sphere as critical, the President suggested a program of stimulation of birth rate, namely, the measures of support of young families, support of women making up their minds to have a child that include an increase of the child care allowance paid out until 1.5 years of age: from Rbl 700 to Rbl 1,500, and up to Rbl 3,000 for the second child on the monthly basis. Introduction of compensation of expenses for child pre-school education up to 70% of the average amount of payment for the pre-school institutions. Increase up to Rbl 2,500 of earnings for adoptive parents. Increase of the cost of birth certificates - in pre-natal centres from Rbl 2,000 to Rbl 3,000, and in the maternity hospital, from Rbl 5,000 to Rbl 7,000. A measure of material support is suggested to women having born a second child - at least Rbl 250,000 with an annual indexing.
The President also emphasised especially the issue of modernisation of the Russian Army, manning compliance with the goal of creation of a professional and mobile army to bring it to 1 million persons. The reduction is expected to occur at the expense of the reduction of the bureaucratic apparatus. Combat units will not be reduced.
It is expected to make the Army a professional one for more than two thirds by 2008, reduce the period of draft service to 12 months. General-purpose forces by 2011 will include 600 units of permanent readiness. Their number will be significantly increased in the fighter plane units, army aviation, air defence forces, communication units, radio electronic reconnaissance and warfare units.
By 2010, it is expected to solve completely the issue of permanent dwelling space for servicemen, and by 2012, the issue of service dwelling space for servicemen.

Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 5-P of May 15, 2006 on the Case of Constitutionality of Provisions of Article 153 of the Federal Law No. 122-FZ of Augusts 22, 2004 on the Amendments to the Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation and Invalidation of Some of the Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation Pursuant to Adoption of the Federal Laws on the Amendments to the Federal Law on the General Principles of Organisation of Legislative (Representative) and Executive Bodies of State Power of the Subjects of the Russian Federation and on the General Principles of Organisation of Local Government in the Russian Federation Pursuant to the Appeal of the Head of the City of Tver and the Tver City Duma
The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation recognised as constitutional the norm of the Law on the monetization of benefits whereby the bodies of local government may not impair the social standing of citizens having enjoyed as of January 1, 2005 the right for benefits and compensations. The case was stipulated by the appeal of the head of the municipal formation challenging the constitutionality of Article 153 of the Law No. 122-FZ of August 22, 2004 proceeding, in particular, from the fact that the bodies of local government do not have enough financial resources to support the earlier available amount of the parent fee for the kindergarten.
Since the Law on the monetization of benefits obliges the subjects of the Russian Federation and municipal authorities, when replacing natural benefits with monetary compensations, to introduce efficient legal mechanisms preserving and, possibly, improving the earlier available level of social protection of citizens, the challenged Article is not in contradiction of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, the court emphasised that the budget of the subject of the Russian Federation or the local budget do not exist in isolation. Insufficiency of own sources of incomes at the level of municipal formations makes expedient for the bodies of state power of the Russian Federation and the subjects of the Russian Federation a proper budget regulation to provide for the balancing of local budgets. Thus, if the resources of the local budgets are not sufficient for the compensation of benefits, they must be allocated to the municipal authorities from the federal and regional budgets

Budget Message of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of May 30, 2006 on the Budget Policy in 2007
The budget message contains the main directions and guidelines of the budget policy in 2007, as well as for the average-term perspective. In the focus of attention are still the issues of gradual reduction of the rates of inflation. The emphasis of anti-inflation measures must be shifted over from suppression of emerging inflation outbursts to the removal of the causes stipulating preservation of a relatively high level of inflation. There are ten priority directions in the forming and implementation of the budget policy. Among them are: fulfilling state obligations in the sphere of state social insurance, reduction of the buy-out price for the land plots under objects in private possession, simplification of the procedure of privatisation of unitary enterprises.
The message addresses the issues of use of the Stabilisation Fund. The Fund's resources must be divided into two parts: the reserve one (resources accumulated to minimise negative consequences of the falling prices for oil) and the "fund of future generations" (resources formed in excess of the reserved part). The Fund's resources in excess of the basic volume must be allocated exclusively for reimbursement of the sources of external financing of the deficit of the budget and/or an early redemption of the state external debt.
Besides, the President emphasised the need to endorse in the following year the federal budget for the average-term perspective (2008-2010).
A separate subject in the message is further development of the tax policy of the state. The rates of excise duties for gasoline must be differentiated depending on its quality.
The dividends received by Russian legal entities from investments in affiliated companies must be exempted from taxes. The time limit for inclusion of expenses for scientific research and design works, including those failing to produce a positive result, in expenses reducing the profit tax must be reduced from two years to one year. The procedure of payment of excise duties for cigarettes must be changes, and the amount of the social tax exemption for the incomes tax from natural persons for the treatment in medical institutions of the Russian Federation must be increased significantly. All taxes and customs payments must be effected in the Russian currency exclusively.
Special attention is paid to the budget expenses. The priority expenses are those increasing the earnings of budget-supported personnel and servicemen, pensioners, as well as those increasing the birth rates.
